Hi and welcome back to the Chrissie Murphy Designs Blog. On Monday were back on Zoom for our first event of 2023, Tangle Index Time Session 17. In case you missed it, here’s the wrap up post that contains all the links of the patterns we focused on, as well as a screen recording. Let’s get into it.
What is Tangle Index Time?
On social media I’ve shared pics and posts about working on my Tangle Index quite regularly. When I do, I always receive lots of comments and messages about it. The main theme of the messages is “I would love to own a tangle index but I struggle to find the time”.
This (in a nutshell) is what the Tangle Index Time Zoom Events are all about. If you’ve been wanting to work on a Tangle Index and have been struggling to find the time to do so, then these events are for you!
Happening each week, these one hour live events are a place where we can meet and work on our Tangle Indexes together. I’ll be continuing to add to mine, and thought we could all work together to build our own.
Do I need special supplies?
All you will need is your regular tangling supplies and whatever you would like to use for your Tangle Index. I use an A4 three-ring binder with 2in x 2in square coin collector sheets because these fit Zentangle Bijou tiles perfectly.
But you can use whatever you like. A notebook, index cards and a box, a display folder…. They will all work.
I have found with Tangle Indexes, the most important thing you need is time to dedicate to working on it. That’s what these hours are about.
Is there a Tangle Index Time Live Event Schedule?
Yes, there surely is. Here is the Zoom Event Schedule for January.
Is there a Facebook Group for Tangle Index Time?
Yes, there most certainly is. The Home for Expressive’s Facebook Group will keep you up to date with;
- The Tangle Index Time live event schedule
- Tangle Index Time Wrap Up posts
- Progress pics from other Expressive’s who are participating in Tangle Index Time.

The Timezone doesn’t work for me. Is there a recording I can watch later?
Yes there is. Since moving to Zoom I have been able to screen record. Please head to this link and use this Passcode to watch the recording:

What we focused on for Tangle Index Time Session 17
It was so good to be back in to Tangle Index Time for another year. We had another great selection of patterns. What I loved most about Monday night was welcoming two new attendees. It was so wonderful to have Nikki and Sonhu join us all the way from the UK and India. And I loved having Olivia back with us as well.
I also remembered to take a screenshot of our session this week, here we are sharing our finished tangles. I love those smiles.
As promised, here’s the links to the patterns we focused on.
Leaf Pattern – Thrive by Michelle Dugdale, CZT
Filler Pattern – L’s by Cyndi Knapp
Ribbon Pattern – Quinque by Edna Olviera, CZT
Grid Pattern – Abdiel by Jacki Rose, CZT
Focal Pattern – Nayu by Emiko Kaneko, CZT
String Number 15 by Courtney Frantz, CZT
Enhancer – Dingsplatz by Zentangle
Dingsplatz is a string technique introduced by Zentangle HQ in 2018. It has a large Eke-shaped frame that you can embellish with auras, coffering or other tangles.
Here’s some of the progress pics from those who came along on Monday night. Well done to all involved! More awesome tangling!!
